[Patch] gre tunnels in 2.5/6

This small patch fixes gre tunnels using keys (and probably 
sequencing/checksums) in 2.{5,6}.
If params aren't set before ipgre_tunnel_init is called, it 
miscalculates the header size, and
stomps on itself when encapsulating packets.

I'm not sure if the later initialization can be removed, or if this is 
the *correct* patch. It does
allow tunnels to work here.

(this might be a double send, i sent it last sunday, but didn't see it 
show up in the lists)

Your patch, as you posted it previously, was added to the kernel
already.  There is no need to retransmit and reexplain it.
